Quik Question

[Vagrant]

I was just wondering if it would be possible to import the entire EQ game (nps's items, quests, etc....) into a server and then play in the exact same world as the real servers over a lan with your friends?

Possible?

-thanks in advance

Absolutely, after you create the exact item/quest/npc database..

Im assuming thats incredibly difficult?

All you have to do is sit down in your most comfortable chair and wait....
wait....
wait.....
Then go out and buy the SW from someone.
Or....
wait.....
wait......
until the EQemu staff finishes everything they wanted to then.....
Sit down in your most comfortable chair and wait......
for your slow arse internet connection to DL someone elses hard work.

Question about the entire database. In the World Builder area everyone seems to be making their own databases. I just started working with mysql cause of eqemu.

What does the < go.sql command do? Can others work on their own databases & then just keep having everyone keep merging them?

mysql -f eq33 < go.sql is basically the same as

c:\mysql\bin> mysql.exe
mysql> use eq33;
mysql> source go.sql;
mysql> exit

It loads the go.sql file into mysql and runs it, using the eq33 database.

Anyone can work on a database, or merge them. All it takes is time and knowledge of the DB and SQL

< go.sql sources in an extra command fine. (Basiclly a batch file with a bunch of sql commands in it)

mysql {databasename} < go.sql

executes the go.sql file, which is itself a list of sql instructions for the database to execute.

Can they all be combined? No, not necessarily. Some can go over the top of others, so are complete solutions in and of themselves.

And what is the process of merging two database files together? That also a DOS command?

Merging DB's requires you know if one will overwrite something important in the other. All the sql files are text files, open them up and start learning...
